It depends on which time period you're talking about. Late Imperial
Rome was decadent, all right. But Early and Middle Roman Republic was
the most efficient conquering machine ever to be seen on the face of
Earth. It had something like 12.5% of total population in active
military service; no one else ever approached that figure.

US imperialism... pffff.... amateurs :-)
